Steve Shovlar Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Looking forward to coming up for this one. Can we still park at the One Stop? If not, where? I am in Birmingham all day. Is there any place actually worth visiting in the area? Struggling to think of anything. As for the meeting, I am guessing a guest for Morris. But whoever Brum get in shouldn’t really make much of a difference and I can only see a Pirates win here. Would be disappointing if we didn’t. Quite a few Poole fans making the trip up, and heard there’s a small coachload coming as well. The weather looks set fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 National Motorcycle Museum (close to airport) is a huge place. Worth a visit for folk with biking interests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS others have said plenty to see and do in and around Brum but beware of the clean air zone if you plan on driving into the city centre. https://www.brumbreathes.co.uk/info/25/welcome-2/45/charges-operation-1 Enjoy your journey up.

Can we park at One stop for speedway? don't park at one stop as restrictions in place due to new owners . The stadium car park by the old car wash is £3 opens about 5.30 with gates open at 6 . Just round corner on A34 there is room for 45 cars outside Bracebridge Engineering and Kalsi Kitchens with a sign showing this and a volunteer manning it .

Can we park at One stop for speedway? Star City does not have any shopping. There is a large cinema there, a casino and a few eaty places. There is a shopping park close to star city call The Fort (near Fort Dunlop) but just general shops nothing exciting. Shopping in the Bull Ring/Grand Central or The Mailbox in the city centre may be considered slightly better shopping areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Buck Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hope you will have a good day - but beware of the traffic congestion when you make your way to the stadium. It isn't far from Birmingham City Centre, but it can get extremely nasty between about 4pm and 7pm. The City Council have spent millions on renovating the route from the City to Perry Barr, but it doesn't seem to have done much to improve the traffic flow, so allow plenty of time to make your way to Perry Barr. Have a good evening though, and hope you enjoy the racing. I don't think we Birmingham fans have too many illusions about the outcome - but every dog has his day!!!!!!

Brummies_Ste Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 What engineering works ? If you are talking about the road works they were finished over a year ago ! No announcement yet for Morris replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
